CATASTROPHE CARD KING

Chapter 941: Chapter 291 S-class Plot_2

Alice then dared to ask, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, are you alright?”

As she spoke, her expression was filled with anxious urgency, after all, there were no doctors present, and such a lethal piercing wound could not receive effective treatment here.

However, before she could say more, Leonard Churchill seemed to not care at all as he nonchalantly pulled the dagger from his chest, casually replying, “I’m fine.”

Blood spurted everywhere, leaving Alice and Allen standing next to him dumbfounded: How could he possibly be fine?

The Curse Power of the “Curse of Immortality” Secret Skill rapidly gathered at the wound, silently healing his organs.

Leonard Churchill had no desire to explain his abilities and chose to leave the external skin wound to make the injury appear more genuine.

He even took out surgical needles and thread and deftly stitched up the wound himself on the spot.

While stitching, his tone remained as calm as ever as he asked, “Miss Alice, did you notice anything just now?”

“Ah?”

Alice was clearly stunned for a moment, watching Leonard Churchill, bloody-handed, sewing his own wound as if she were shocked by this operation.

Is this guy really a priest?

In the Southern Continent, where modern medicine is absent, she could recognize the expertise in his stitching technique. He must be a very skilled Healing Path card master.

After a moment of shock, she came back to his question and answered, “Um, that… Leader Batis might know who the traitor is. I’ve already sent a Cursing Spirit to follow him.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than she seemed to discover something and added, “Batis is heading to a house about three hundred meters to the southwest. Some people are being held there.”

Since the Rebellion Army was comprised mostly of people from humble origins, although they had slaughtered many nobles after breaching the city walls, they had not harassed commoners.

“Oh?”

Hearing Batis was going to a house, Leonard Churchill suddenly stood up: “Let’s go have a look.”

Not to mention, Alice’s intelligence gathering abilities were indeed quite impressive.

Currently, her range of perception was even longer than his own Shadow.

Alice still could not believe it and asked, “But are you sure… your body is alright?”

Leonard Churchill replied indifferently, “Yes.”

With that, he walked out the door.

Although he felt knowing the identity of the traitor was no longer important, his intuition told him that this line of inquiry might dig up some other hidden plot.

Alice, aware that this was not the time for idle chat, followed him out the door.

Allen, who was at an age where he held the utmost admiration for heroes, was thoroughly impressed by Leonard Churchill’s demonstration and couldn’t help his curiosity. He sincerely asked, “That… Mr. Leonard Churchill, how did you do that just now? Why didn’t those people listen to me when I talked to them before?”

“…”

Leonard Churchill fell silent.

It wasn’t that he was arrogant.

It was simply impossible to explain that kind of logical deduction ability.

If you understand, you understand; if you don’t, no amount of explanation will make you understand.

Alice guessed it might have something to do with his professional abilities and found such inquiring to be rude. Without waiting for Allen to finish, she quickly interrupted her companion’s imprudent behavior, saying, “When you dare to plunge a dagger into your chest just like Mr. Leonard Churchill, then you’ll know why.”

Allen’s expression turned strange as he heard this: “Ah?”

Leonard Churchill said nothing, but he smiled.

That explanation was indeed almost sufficient.

….

The trio arrived not far from a house built of white stones.

Two gladiators holding torches were guarding the entrance, though they didn’t approach too closely.

However, at this distance, Leonard Churchill’s Shadow could already slip silently into the darkness and infiltrate unnoticed.

Alice’s “White Crow” Cursing Spirit also slipped in and promptly reported back, “There are a dozen women inside, dressed like nobles…”

Leonard Churchill nodded, “Mhm.”

He had seen them too.

And he had heard their conversation.

The women from the Governor’s Mansion, the ones Batis had previously taken great pains to protect.

The traitor was among them.

Just as Leonard Churchill had surmised, the leader Batis recognized the “Insider.”

But he himself was unaware of it.

Batis rushed into the house, directly confronting the red-haired woman in distress and demanded, “Miss Manya, did you intentionally give me that information?”

The red-haired noblewoman named Manya was taken aback for a moment and did not deny it; she very calmly asked, “You know?”

“You…!!!”

Upon hearing her confirmation, Batis was as if struck by lightning.

The plan to plunder Waren City had been known only to a few top members of the Rebellion Army, so the possibility of an ambush was extremely low.

But there was another possibility!

The problem lay at the source!

And the source of the information was this Miss Manya!

The daughter of Waren City’s grain officer!

Years ago, Batis was a prisoner of war, then became a Gladiator Slave in Waren City.

A noble young lady and a young, handsome slave had a doomed affair.

The process didn’t matter.

What mattered was that, dealing with a lack of supplies, Batis thought of the rich granary of Waren City.

Previously, to confirm the food reserves in the city, he had even personally disguised himself and infiltrated the city.

When he had learned from the grain merchants of a bountiful harvest and considerable reserves stored in the city this year,

Batis had smelled a whiff of conspiracy.

But curiously, at that time, he happened to meet his former lover, who then gave him information that dispelled his doubts and decided the siege operation.

Now it appeared that this had been a deeply laid plot from the start to the end.

Exposed, the red-haired woman’s tone suddenly became sharp, and she stopped disguising her true intentions: “Yes! Not only did I deliberately leak the information to you, but even Waren City’s bountiful harvest and the hoarding of so much grain without transporting it away, it was all arranged by the military, as bait to attract you!”
